Update October 1 – mass arrests on the Brooklyn Bridge. Occupy Live Stream.
Thousands of folks down in Occupy Wall Street today, with the rumor of Radiohead playing a free show @ 4pm.
Even IF Radiohead does not play a note at the #occupywallst event today (as has been widely rumored, and then widely denied) the fact that the corporate media has ignored the thousands of people who showed is mighty telling. There have also been suggestions that Facebook and other social media sites have been censoring news of this “event”. Tho lots of manufactured drama on all sides it seems.
Some great related reading to this event:
- Matt Taibbi’s Why Isn’t Wall Street in Jail? – Financial crooks brought down the world’s economy — but the feds are doing more to protect them than to prosecute them.
- Mother Jones’ excellent illustrations of the income disparity in Obama’s America.
